Dear list members, Maybe someone can help me with a few questions? 1. Where are Lyons Falls, NY and Newton Falls, NY? 2. Where is Grieg, NY? 3. Why would the Baggs (or Boggs) Hotel in Utica, NY be the site of a marriage in 1857? Isn't that unusual for that time period? 4. How would I get records of marriages performed there? 5. Does any one recognize the family listed below? I am looking for any info on the families of Catherine ZIMMERMAN UNSEL(L) who is my gggm and Baltus UNSEL(L), my gggf. A letter I have states that Mary ZIMMERMAN (sister of my gggm) married Lawrence BECK 1/4/1857 at the Baggs (Boggs) Hotel in Utica. It states Mary was born Nov. 16, 1826 in Bavaria and that she came to this country as a young girl and settled in Greig, NY. (Is Greig noted for its German population? ) Lawrence BECK died February 15, 1914 and Mary BECK died on April 12 Unknown year. (Note: I know she was alive in 1893 as Mary was the last of the three ZIMMERMAN sisters to die and Catherine ZIMMERMAN UNSEL(L) was the first to die-July 26, 1893.) Mary ZIMMERMAN BECK died at the home of her daughter Mrs. Mayo SPRINGSTEEN near Lyons Falls. Mary had another daughter Mrs. Mary FISHER of Utica and two sons, Lawrence BECK of Lyons Falls and Caleb BECK of Newton Falls. Other names in the families of MARY and ROSA ZIMMERMAN are Mrs. Lena LEON of Camden, NJ + Mrs. Nellie SCHRAGLER also of Camden, NJ . We believe Lena and Nellie to be the daughters of Rosa ZIMMERMAN. Rosa, I had been told, married a man named SCHREIGLER but this note states Rosa's name was SCHULYER. I don't know if the name SCHUYLER was from a second marriage or is SCHREIGLER an error. Note the similarity to her daughter Nellie's name. Lena and Nellie used to correspond with their cousin Nellie (Ellen) UNSEL ROMAN-my great aunt who lived in Utica. I hope this is not too confusing and I would really appreciate the least bit of info. I did check on Grieg, Newton Falls and Lyons Falls in my atlas but couldn't find them. Thank you very much.
